My goal is to provide that space,one that is supportive, and free of judgment. I believe in the power of real conversations, gentle guidance, and genuine connection to help you navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply a moment to pause and find your way forward, I’m here to walk that journey with you.

I offer psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessments for children (7+), adolescents, adults, and couples, both online and in person.
Often, people come to therapy not because there is one clear problem, but because something doesn't feel quite right anymore. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from those around you, or wondering why the same difficulties keep resurfacing. I work with children (7+), adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, maternal mental health concerns, grief, and major life transitions. Together, we explore these experiences with curiosity and care.

Coming to therapy is a journey of change. Sometimes the journey is a short, brisk walk and other times it is an encounter - a dark night of the soul. People are different, they think differently, feel differently and make decisions and interpretations in a way that points to the uniqueness of the fingerprints of their souls. A therapist needs to understand these fingerprints in a creative and intelligent manner.

Counselling is a supportive process led by an empathetic counsellor who helps individuals and relationships engage in deep self-examination, awareness, and healing. I facilitate this journey by delving into the entrenched belief systems that influence behaviours and emotional responses in daily life, ultimately offering support throughout the transformation process. Clients are welcomed into a warm and safe environment where they can freely express themselves at their own pace, without the fear of being judged.

People usually seek help from a psychologist when they want something to change. This desire for change may be motivated by painful thoughts and feelings, a situation at work, school, or at home, a challenging event, or relationships with others. Sometimes people work with a psychologist because they want a better understanding of themselves, to change behaviours, or to develop new skills to support their well-being. If any of this is true for you or for someone you care about, getting in contact with a psychologist is a useful step to take.

Based in Johannesburg, I provide online and in-person treatment for adults and adolescents facing a range of emotional and mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Often we find ourselves responding to painful situations in ways that feel familiar but difficult to explain. We may repeat patterns in relationships, struggle with the same feelings, or feel stuck in ways we cannot fully understand. These difficulties becomes easier to navigate when there is room to explore them safely with another person. Therapy offers a professional, non-judgmental relationship that can help make these experiences more understandable and create opportunities for change.

We are all guided by stories. Some stories we tell ourselves, some we have inherited, and some quietly shape our daily lives. Together, we can uncover these loud and silent stories, creating a space where reflection leads to meaningful action and change. Every journey is unique and I welcome the opportunity to explore yours with empathy, curiosity, and commitment. "How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also if I am to be whole." – Carl Jung

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
